We have said on several occasions that we don't happen to find the Mimobot's particularly appealing. Despite that the maker of the Mimobot's, Mimoco announced in late June that its third generation of Star Wars themed drives was getting ready to launch and that a contest would be held to win free drives. The contest required users to guess what Star Wars character would be features in Series 3. All the really cool and iconic characters were featured in Series 2 if you ask us. The contest is now over and all the Series 3 Star Wars Mimobot's have been announced. Series 3 includes C-3PO, Wicket (an Ewok), Emperor's Royal Guard, and Darth Sidious. The drives are available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB capacities and ship preloaded with software including mimoByte sound software and the mimoDesk personalization suite of icons. All of them are being built in limited quantities and can be ordered right now starting at $49.95 for the 1GB and going up to $109.95 for the 8GB versions.
